JAM
The Lilliputians Take Control of the
Healthcare Giant
ICD-9 has 13,000 codes
ICD-10 has 140,000
Effective date – October 1, 2014
Transition will be difficult as there is little in common
with our current coding paradigms
Requires doctors, not staff to do the specific coding
Every artery and nerve has been issued a number
Number of physicians = 800,000/ 35% own their own
practice (Source Accenture with data from Medical
Group management Assoc and AMA)
JAM
Why Convert to ICD-10-CM?
Clinical modification of WHO’s ICD-10
–
Clinical emphasizes the intent to serve as a tool in
classification of morbidity data for indexing, medical
records care review, medical & ambulatory care
programs, health statistics
Better understand complications
Better design robust algorithms
Track outcomes
–
–
–
To describe the “clinical” picture the codes must be
more precise
Far exceeds ICD-9 in number of concepts and codes
Disease classification expanded to include health
related conditions and provides greater specificity
JAM
Improvements Over ICD-9
Index MUCH longer
–
Ex 28 pterygium, 69 conjunctivitis, 12 astigmatism codes
Adds information relevant to ambulatory & MC
encounters
Expanded injury codes
Combination diagnosis/symptom codes
Addition of 6th & 7th characters
Incorporates common 4th & 5th digit subclassification
Laterality
Allows further expansion

Format & Structure
Tabular list contains categories, subcategories & codes
Characters may be letter or numbers
Categories are 3 characters
–
Character 1 is alpha
All letter used except U
–
–
–
Character 2 is numeric
Character 3-7 are alpha or numeric
Use decimal after 3 characters
Subcategories are 4 or 5 characters
Codes may be 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 characters
Laterality specific
JAM
Placeholder Characters
Character “X” used as a placeholder
–
–
–
Allows for future expansion
Where it exists it must be used to be valid
Ex S05.8x1A
JAM
Placeholder Characters
Code extensions (seventh character) have been added for
injuries and consequences of external causes (S00-T88),
to identify the encounter
–
–
–
“A” Initial encounter – receiving active treatment
“D” Subsequent encounter-use after Pt received active treamt
“S” Sequelae-used for complications/conditions arise as result
of injury
S only added to injury code, not sequela code
Sequela code first, followed by injury code
–
Ex: S30 superficial injury of abdomen
S30.810, code requires extension to indicate episode of care
S30.810A
JAM
7th Character
Certain ICD-10-CM categories have 7th digit characters
Applicable 7th character is required within the category
If code requires 7th character and there is not 6
characters, a placeholder “X” must be used to fill
empty character
Ex: S05 Injury of eye and orbit, subsequent visit
–
S05.00
Looking it up you find “x7th” meaning no 6th character exists but
there is a 7th character mandatory
–
S05.00xD
JAM
7th Character Extension
Glaucoma staging by 7th character for severity
1 = mild stage
2 = moderate stage
3 = severe stage
4 = indeterminate
0 = unspecified
Ex: low tension glaucoma
–
–
Glaucoma/low tension glaucoma/moderate R, severe left
H40.-/ H40.12 / H40.1212 / H40.1223
JAM
7th Character Extension
Corneal Abrasion
–
Category - Chapter 19: Injury, Poisoning and other causes of
external
S05.- Injury of eye and orbit
–
–
–
Subcategory – Check 5th SO5.0 Injury of conjunctiva and
corneal abrasion w/o FB
Specificity – Check “x”, 7th, SO5.01 Injury of conjunctiva
and corneal abrasion w/o FB, right eye
Code – SO5.01xA Injury on conjunctiva and corneal
abrasion w/o FB, right eye, initial encounter
JAM
Laterality
For bilateral sites, final character of code indicates
laterality (-1 = R, -2 = L, -3 bilat, -0 or -9 nonspec)
Unspecified side codes if side not identified in medical
record
If no bilateral code provided and condition is bilateral
–
Assign separate codes for both left and right
Ex:
–
–
–
–
H43.811 Vitreous degeneration, right side
H43.812 Vitreous degeneration, left side
H43.813 Vitreous degeneration, bilateral
H43.819 Vitreous degeneration, unspecified
JAM
Laterality
Exceptions are when eyelid coding
Ex:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
H02.011 Cicatricial entropion, right upper lid
H02.012 Cicatricial entropion, right lower lid
H02.013 Cicatricial entropion, right unspecified lid
H02.014 Cicatricial entropion, left upper
H02.015 Cicatricial entropion, left lower
H02.016 Cicatricial entropion, left unspecified lid
H02.019 Cicatricial entropion, unspecified eye, unspecified
lid
JAM
Combination Coding
Single code used to describe 2 diagnoses
Diagnosis with a manifestation (systemic/non ocular)
–
–
Ex: Severe sepsis (I-9 = 995.92) & Septic shock (I-9 =
785.52)
Ex: Severe sepsis with septic shock (I-10 = R65.21)
Diagnosis with a manifestation
–
Ex: E11.321 – Type 2 DM with mild non-proliferative
retinopathy with macular edema
Diagnosis with associated complication
–
Ex: H59.032 CME following cataract surgery, left eye
JAM
Abbreviations
NEC “not elsewhere classifiable”
NOS “not otherwise specified”
“and” represents and / or
“code also” instructs two codes may be required
[ ] Brackets identify manifestation codes
( ) parenthesis terms are non essential modifiers
: Colon incomplete term needing more modifiers
JAM
Excludes Codes
Excludes 1 – pure excludes notes
–
–
Means “NOT CODED HERE”
Indicated code exclude should never be used same time as
code above it
Ex congenital vs acquired condition
Exclude 2
–
–
“Not included here”
Condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by
the code
JAM
Etiology / Manifestation Convention
Some conditions have underlying etiology and multiple
body system manifestations due to the etiology
Coding convention requires underlying condition be
sequenced first, followed by manifestation
–
–
“use additional code” note exists at etiology codes
“code first” note at the manifestation code
Ex; Dementia in Parkinson’s disease
–
–
Code G20 represents etiology
[F02.80 or F02.81] represents manifestation of dementia
With behavioral or without behavioral disturbances
JAM
General Coding Guidelines
Locating a code in ICD-10-CM
–
–
–
–
Locate term in Alphabetic Index
Then verify code in the Tabular List
Read and be guided by instructional notations appearing in
both
Essential to use BOTH
Alphabetic index doesn’t always provide FULL code
Need Tabular List to assign laterality and 7th character
JAM
Chapter 18: Sign & Symptoms
Codes that describe symptoms and signs, as opposed to
diagnosis
Are accepted when a definitive diagnosis has not been
established
Expected to document behavioral and psychiatric issues
–
–
–
–
R46.0 Low level of personal hygiene
R19.6 Halitosis
R14.3 Flatulence
R45.84 Worries

–
–

If condition is both, code both with acute first
Late Effects (Sequela)
–
–
–
Residual effect after acute phase of illness or injury has
terminated
No time limit
Coding requires 2 codes sequenced in order
Condition first
Late effect code second
JAM
Chapter 20: External Cause Codes
Use full range of external cause codes to completely
describe:
–
–
–
–
–
the cause,
the intent,
the place of occurrence,
and if applicable the activity of the patient at the time of the
event and
the patient’s status for all injuries and other health conditions

No decimal points in GEM files
Single entry – in GEM file for which code in source
system is linked to one code option in target system
GEM Flags – 3 Important Columns
Approximate Flag – attribute in a GEM file that when
“turned on” (“0” changes to “1”) indicates entry is not
equivalent
No Map Flag – attribute in a GEM file that when
“turned on” indicates that a code in source system is not
linked to a code in target system
Combination Flag – attribute in a GEM file that when
“turned on” indicates that more than one code in target
system is required

Z codes are analogous to the ICD-9CM “V” codes
Most rules of V codes transfer over to the use of Z codes
Used to describe routine examinations of many varieties
Each with different codes

complaint, suspected or reported diagnosis
Ex Z01 Encounter for other special examination without
complaint, suspected or reported diagnosis
